sewing makes me tired

I spent most of the day sewing instead of doing my homework like a good grad student. Since we moved I have managed to get the new house mostly organized, including all my crafting stuff. At the moment I'm too poor to shop anywhere but the thrift store. This week I found a blue blouse and a pair of jeans, but its not that easy to find things that fit me. So I decided that I could use some of my fabric stash to make some spring clothing. My sewing machine was already sitting out since I had to hem the jeans. Once I get started on something I tend to overdo it. So now I'm stiff and tired but I have a new skirt. :)
